The People's Revolution

leaders are accountable to you and I

We call for a worldwide revolutionary

movement against all elected leaders, corrupt,

out of touch with the people. It's necessary

just as cruel crippling cancer cells need to be cut

quickly out of the body for its full motion.

May the people rise for a revolution!

This is a revolution of pure soul and mind;

no secret societies, agendas, guns or knives;

just God's truth saying the globe belongs to all Mankind,

and not the property of masons building lies

for a new world order of fascist dominion.

May the people rise for a revolution!

Rich companies misuse our oil, our food, our trees,

our waters, our diamonds, our gold... when we complain,

they finance wars against us on land, air and seas,

as bombs drop and children's songs stop in nuclear rain,

and we pay for their global warming pollution.

May the people rise for a revolution!

Our globe is rich and holds enough food and water

and house space for each human on each country's soil;

so, no armies should cross their borders to murder

Mother Earth's children, victims in these wars for oil,

drowning souls in mass economic migration.

May the people rise for a revolution!

Like hell they made a trail with our blood and bodies,

dead in Hiroshima, Abidjan, Tripoli...

O they make the art of war and blood their hobbies!

But the people's victory will rewrite history

when Mother Earth's children sow and reap peace fruition.

May the people rise for a revolution!

"For killing us," Justice says, "guilty presidents

for miles shall crawl on hot coal mixed with broken glass,

on their knees, toward burial grounds of residents;

and there be received by the deceived angry mass

who'll drag them to the World Court for prosecution."

May the people rise for a revolution!

Dear fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters,

we call on you, we call on you, we call on you

to hold accountable your chosen ministers,

deputies, mayors, kings, queens whose bombs fall on you;

for it is the people's power that makes a nation.

May the people rise for a revolution!

My favourite bits! But loved it all. I was attracted by the title and I like the message, but your delivery is spot on and your poetry really beautiful.

Yes. This speaks volumes. Many are rising, many overed with fear, many needs motivation to rise up , we must help each other, stand together as one, strengthen one another, being fearless

Hello, BlackPrince! :)
I'm inspired. Let's go fix the world. Let me finish watching my tv show first though, or maybe we can do it tomorrow. I don't know, I'm feeling distracted. I really just want to plug my face into a screen and watch the pixels dance. This really can't be as important as the new season of game of thrones. Hey, I just watched the news. Everything is awesome!

Nice and well written, most countries in Africa needs revolution... Let the world know

The problem my friend. Is the lobbyist. To be elected to office. Need many dollars. Politicians pay off before elected. Prime example is liquor and cigarettes. Kill more people than anything. Few discuss. Bought politicians don't make laws again. We need less government. What does the men and women do in Washington. Allow the states to run themselves. Would be cheaper. Powerful and worthwhile words shared my friend.

I can see where you're coming from in this poem. And agree, As at the end of the day, the rich, powerful and the ones in control of us all. Don't care at all about the ones at the bottom of the slope us lot. The commoners. I agree the way the world is going there is going to be a revolution headed by the working class and normal people in society. As they are getting trod on each and every day. And treated like lepers.

the president of the united states says that he just wants to make nice with Putin? "What's wrong with getting along" he says?yet of the Kurdish children of Syria, if Assad (Putin's no. one ally in the region) hadn't been carpet bombed , gassed, starved or cut off of clean water yet, they soon will be. war is about greed and power just as power is about control and greed. I like when you say that that there is plenty on this earth for every human, yet starving, homelessness, wars and civil unrest exists all over this planet. Man kind has proven that class structure and social stratification , wage inequality and racialism has made this world a far different place that what God had imagined. No need to wait on revolution my friend. Education is revolution .Poetry is a form of solvent that cleans the soul and cautions the society that a revolt is coming....great poem....dana

Wow. That was really powerful. I understand exactly where you're coming from. There's a lot of things going on now and it feels like something needs to change. I love how this is worded. Definitely a wake-up call.
